Just announced today, Seagate to buy LaCie for $186m. The article is kinda misleading, as the "hard drive market" has already shrunk and LaCie doesn't make drives anyway; they make enclosures and other storage accessories. But this is kinda a big deal since LaCie is one of the more popular boutique storage vendors, known for their design above all else. Think Seagate will let them operate separately or will they absorb everything under the Seagate brand and turn the Big Disk line into more BlackArmor units?
